Camel Rides5 viewsIn this case the "ride" was limited to sitting on the camel, which remained motionless, and having your picture taken. We would have to wait until we went to Morocco, many years later, to take a real camel ride.Aug 16, 2019

No Swimming4 viewsHaving a picnic here by the waterside was also a no-no. But since we had already enjoyed our lunch on the nearby picnic ground provided by the park, it didn't matter to us.Aug 16, 2019

Beware of Strinking4 viewsWe didn't know what "border" we might be crossing, let alone what "strinking" meant, so it was hard to avoid doing that; nevertheless, we escaped without any dire consequences, although as far as I know we never made it to Geziyolu, whatever and wherever that was.Aug 16, 2019

The Waterfall4 viewsThe Kursunlu Waterfall is on a tributary of the Aksu, the major river of Antalya Province. We were lucky to see it in springtime; it's reported that it dries to a trickle in the summer.Aug 16, 2019

The Old Mill7 viewsI don't know when this mill was built, most likely not more than a couple of centuries ago; but water wheels have been in use for grinding grain since Roman times.Aug 16, 2019
